PowerHaus why work with us family in healthy homes

We believe every building has the opportunity to change lives

Not only by creating a space that is safe, healthy and inspiring, but by becoming a climate change solution. In the Powerhaus vision:
  • Buildings are comfortable year round, heating and cooling themselves
  • People are comfortable and happy in their homes
  • We relieve people of the stress of energy bills and uncomfortable homes
  • Buildings are power generators year round
  • People are safe and resilient to catastrophic climate events like fire and high rainfall
  • Our homes have a positive contribution to solving climate change

SHAPING EXCEPTIONAL HOMES

We empower architects, designers and building professionals to achieve better energy ratings.

We become part of your team, equipping you with innovative data and insight to design for a future, where buildings aren’t just structures, but beacons of efficiency, comfort, and environmental harmony.

Why work with us?

We’ll work with you to understand the ways you can make your house warm and comfortable all year round.

We fine tune your home for maximum warmth in winter, cooling breezes in summer, plus healthy and sun-powered energy all year round.

We start from the basics, not just compliance:

  • Reducing energy use through house design
  • Reducing energy use through your energy systems and appliance choices
  • Generating your energy through solar power systems
  • Making sure you can use the free energy you are generating

We help people design energy abundant homes, not just tick boxes.

We’ve optimised hundreds of homes, so we understand the ins and outs of legislation and the mechanics of building materials.

When there’s a barrier to compliance, we find solutions that others won’t think of.

We use the thermal modelling process together with our industry experience, to optimise the comfort and energy use of buildings.

Just like a mechanic tuning the engine of a car, we tune the specifications of your build for cost-effective thermal performance.

We’re thermal performance assessors, but we’re also energy engineers and scientists.

That means we aim to understand the energy demands of buildings from first principles, and ensure our solutions are practical and fit-for-purpose.

Our team are passionate about energy efficiency, and they walk the walk.

We love talking about the latest in wall wraps, building standards, new windows, draft-sealing, electric vehicles, solar sizing – I think you get the picture!

Powerhaus Engineering is dedicated to creating homes that power themselves. Our passion is using data and innovation to build smarter and with bigger impact. We empower you with the tools and levers to balance cost, comfort and carbon
